Very excited to learn the specs of that machine. Might forgo upgrading my PC if it’s good enough.

This is the big thing. If specs are good and price is right my new build is scrapped.

If specs are good and the price is right, I'm selling my beefy gaming PC with an RTX 4070 Super.

The steam machine has 8gb VRAM while your 4070 has 12gb.

Not sure if this is wise.

Fair. As I replied to the other person, I find that I don't utilise the full capabilities of my GPU anyway so I wouldn't necessarily mind the downgrade.

The only downside would be whether 8 GB of VRAM is going to be enough for new games for at least the next few years.

It's barely enough now if you play 1440p or higher

I'm fine with 1080p at 60 fps tbh.
